Article mentioned the club are worried Gordon’s head has been turned.

I agree, it sucks but the context is crucial right? We would have only done that as the last resort, it’s not something we want to do it’s something we might have had to do. taking a points deduction is a none starter, the target for next year is champions league qualification and we can’t achieve starting on -10.

I haven’t read it’s even done? Only it’s close with no numbers mentioned.

Full thing reads when worst, we aren’t even certainly it’s enough. We considered selling someone else right up until yesterday afternoon.

Piece up about the last few days in the athletic.

I think if we step back, the club has actually performed miracles yesterday. The fees we got are fantastic and franticness aside this is exactly what we have to do under the current rules unfortunately.

Rumours are the keeper is 5m. He’s crap but 5m is basically nothing so I’m ok with it.

We weren’t getting such a clause when we sold for such a premium price.

If it made its way back for MGW you’d be happy right?

Had a great time reading the fume on red cafe

For this particular “deadline” it’s an accounting one and not say a transfer window closing. Either way as I’ve prattled on, they have absolutely no way to block these days at this point. If the league decided to invest new rules without its members voting for them can you imagine the crisis and the lawsuits?

Remember folks, the Pl are going to be blocking these deals

What a meh announcement

all the best to him, took one for the team big time.

It absolutely critical aye squad cost rules are going to kill us.

It’s a rolling cycle so the spending of 3 years ago drops off

They can’t do that, they can’t just amend the rules as they see fit, they would be sued to the ground.

Think of it more as a revenue measure not a merit one. They are right up and amongst the heavy weight when it comes to how much they make. The stadium has really been canny for them.

A guy who took a step down from Benfica to Forest? I doubt his wage is that modest. And we will already be suffering with amortisation so adding more on a player or no value or use isn’t a good deal. let’s see how much the fee for him works out at.

They can’t, they have no provision in the rules to stop this. People will cite good faith but that’s such a weak provision especially as a few of these deals have already gone through.

Yes and no, even though this is obviously a FFP fudge you’re staying paying for this guy over the course of however long his contract is. If hes useless then this is a terrible deal.

Yes but we are buying forests third choice keeper for a fee which hasn’t emerged yet.

Everyone should remember that these dodgy none swap deals still have to be paid for in terms of amortisation. Taking players in these deals who offer nothing really isn’t good.

Hopefully we aren’t inflating too much for a random mid keeper.
